The reactor dynamics code DYN3D being developed at the Helmholtz-Zentrum Dresden-Rossendorf is currently under extension for Sodium cooled Fast Reactor analyses. This paper provides an overview on the new version of DYN3D to be used for SFR core calculatio ...
Nyon, le 17.06.17 Guidé par le signal lumineux du “totem”, on s'aventure sur l'esplanade des Marronniers. Ce vaste balcon, perché sur l'ancien tracé de la ville médiévale, surplombe le panorama lémanique. A l'épicentre, le spectateur découvre soudain l'int ...
The present article describes the preliminary design studies for an oncoming experimental programme at the CROCUS facility. CROCUS is a teaching and research zero-power reactor operated by the Laboratory for Reactor Physics and Systems Behaviour (LRS) at t ...
The semester project was under the course Physics lab IVb at EPFL. At EPFL site, the experimental fission reactor CROCUS is shielded by concrete which becomes radioactive as a result of neutron interaction. The activation is of interest to study for valida ...
During the last two decades, silicon carbide based ceramic composites (SiC/SiC) have become a candidate material for nuclear fuel cladding, first for advanced nuclear systems, such as the GFR, and recently also as potential replacement material for nuclear ...

EIGER is the new thermal triple-axis-spectrometer at the continuous spallation SINQ at PSI. The shielding of the monochromator consists only of non- or low magnetizable materials, which allows the use of strong magnetic fields with the instrument. This shi ...
Mechanical stress combined with alloying as controlled by CO dissociation is investigated for the control of methanation activity. CO dissociation over strained Ni(211), Ni3Fe(211), and NiFe(112) is investigated. A continuous 0.62 eV range of CO reaction e ...
Two single channel detection units for thermal neutron detection are investigated in a neutron beam. They consist of two ZnS/(LiF)-Li-6 scintillating layers sandwiching an array of WLS fibers. The pattern of these units can be repeated laterally and vertic ...
FLUOLE-2 is a benchmark-type experiment dedicated to 900 and 1450MWe PWR vessels surveillance dosimetry. This two-year program started in 2014 and will end in 2015. It will provide precise experimental data for the validation of the neutron spectrum propag ...
The objective of this report is to detail the work done during the TP IV project at EPFL. The idea is to look into the activation of concrete and metallic structures of the EPFL’s nuclear reactor: CROCUS. This study has been done by two ways: MCNP computat ...
